What Makes This Recipe So Good
This mustard is bright and flavorful, combining the tang of mustard seeds with fresh dill and the subtle fizz of champagne. It adds a unique twist to everyday dishes and brings a gourmet touch to your meals. The balance of sharpness and herbaceous notes makes it a versatile condiment.
Step 1
Combin the yellow and brown mustard seeds in a medium bowl. Pour in the champagne, add the fresh dill, and pour enough vinegar to just cover everything. Give it a good stir, then pop the bowl in the fridge and let it sit overnight, or for about 24 hours.
Step 2
When you’re ready, transfer the mustard seed mixture to a food processor. Add the garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Blend everything until the mustard reaches the texture you like—whether that’s smooth or a bit chunky.
Step 3
Finally, spoon the finished mustard into clean, sterilized half-pint jars. Seal them up, and your homemade mustard is good to go!
